Well, here’s another reason why you should start planning a trip to Japan. In honor of Mario’s 30th anniversary, Nintendo joined up with Tower Record Cafes to open three Super Mario-themed cafes in Tokyo’s Shibuya, Omotesando and Ebisu districts.

Kyle McLain is a diehard Nintendo fan, and he recently stopped by those three cafes (which are around for a limited time only) and documented his experience on Twitter.

Kyle first stopped by the cafe in Shibuya, which featured some nice touches like warp pipes and a big 8-bit Mario.

Kyle also popped into the cafe in Ebisu, and he noted that it had a sort of “Japanese Hard Rock Cafe-lite style setup.”

“The walls were littered with all sorts of rock and roll goods, and they actually did a fairly good job of melding the Mario stuff in with it. My favorite were the various 8-bit Mario sprites mixed in with some album covers,” he said to Kotaku.
